and there are no other possible factors of equal weight? TV coverage?
I can name ten factors; doesn't make any one of them not worth exploring, especially if it is one's field.
as someone who witnessed newsroom impact of it in 2012, i don't think it lines up exactly the way you suggest.
It's worth considering if the convergent certainty in 2016 played differently than more contested 2012.
there was outright hostility to it in 2012 in NYT newsroom; that, more than uncertainty in forecast, had impact.
I take your point; I think it might have been different in 2016. Something worth looking at. I think it had more influence.
I think reporters have the wrong kind of hostility. Hostile to keep doing baseless punditry. I wished modeling would kill that.
so to say that 2012 impact was tempered by uncertainty across forecasts i think is wrong.
In 2012, I did not like the causes of reporter hostility.https://www.wired.com/2012/11/why-predictions-and-statistical-models-are-necessary-and-good-for-democracy/ …
Getting too hard for Twitter; data journalism became fodder for what it should have killed, too much horse-race coverage.
